Fractional Modeling of Fluid Flow and Transport Phenomena

Fractional Modeling of Fluid Flow and Transport Phenomena focuses on mathematical and numerical aspects of fractional-order modeling in fluid flow and transport phenomena. The book covers fundamental concepts, advancements, and practical applications, including modeling developments, numerical solutions, and convergence analysis for both time and space fractional order models. Various types of flows are explored, such as single- and multi-phase flows in porous media, involving different fluid types like Newtonian, non-Newtonian, nanofluids, and ferrofluids. This book serves as a comprehensive reference on fractional-order modeling of fluid flow and transport phenomena, offering a single resource that is currently unavailable.

Fractional-order modeling has gained traction in engineering and science, particularly in fluid dynamics and transport phenomena. However, its mathematical and numerical advancements have progressed relatively slowly compared to other aspects. Therefore, this book emphasizes the fractional-order modeling of fluid flow and transport phenomena to bridge this gap. Each chapter in the book delves into a specific topic closely related to the others, ensuring a cohesive and self-contained structure.
